Is it so hard to believe that George W. Bush is a man that would pray about the decision to invade Iraq? He always claimed to be a Christian that prayed. I believe that, and I can certainly believe that he prayed about the invasion of Iraq.

And the Bob Woodward quote: "The current President replied that his earthly father was "the wrong father to appeal to for advice ... there is a higher father that I appeal to". "

<quoted text>That's right, because nothing ever happens that's not recorded on video.

No, but when you have no real evidence of what you claim, it certainly is suspicious. "A person" made a statement of this or that, so because you dislike or hate Bush, then just believe it and post it as if it were an irrefutable fact.

So let me ask: if somebody makes claim that they heard DumBama say he was a closet Communist out to destroy the country from within, would you believe it if I posted it?

You certainly have an interesting idea of "no real evidence." Testimony from an eyewitness is not considered "real evidence"?

When someone reports that they had a conversation with someone else, you have to make a judgement about the reputation of the person who claims it happened. If you actually read the article, you would know the people who claim George W. Bush made those comments: Bob Woodward, and Palestinian foreign minister Nabil Shaath, and Mahmoud Abbas, former prime minister and now Palestinian President. These seem like pretty reliable sources to me, and they are people who had access to President Bush. You also have consider the words they claim the President said. Are they words that he would likely say, or something totally out of character? George W. made no secret of his Christian faith, so it seem very reasonable that he would pray about a difficult decision like the Iraq invasion.

Let's make it more specific: You are an anonymous poster on Topix, that constantly refers to our President as "DumBama", obviously has a partisan ax to grind, you say heard something that is at odds with public statements by the President and you can offer no evidence of access to the President Obama that would put him in a position to hear this. No, I wouldn't believe you.

And, while we are talking about this, insults based on mocking a person's name are pretty juvenile. I know you probably hear Rush or Mark Levin do it, and you must think it's pretty cool, but it really doesn't help you convince others. Do you want to try to change peoples' minds, or would you rather just insult them? It's hard to do both.

I'm insulting people by making fun of their heros name? How is that insulting you?

He is dumb and I don't care how much education he has. Everything he's done since the time he took office is based on stupidity. He is a party first- country second President that's doing so much harm to this country like no other before him.

You can't build an economy by taking people's money away. You can't force people to buy health insurance and expect them to benefit while they financially struggle. Speaking of Commie Care, you can't expect businesses to invest when they don't know WTF is happening around the corner. That has stalled the economy for nearly four years.

Sorry, but what I refer to him as is totally accurate. DumBama is the biggest joke America has ever played on itself. I just thank God people were smart enough to elect a Republican Congress to stop him from totally destroying this country. Without that Congress, we would probably be over 19 trillion dollars in the hole and the businesses we have left would have exited for another country. This is the most anti-business President I've seen in my lifetime.

If people are so blind that they can't see what's happening in their own country, nothing I can say or write will change their minds. He's tearing down Medicare and doing his best to make as many people dependent on government as he can. So to the point that now half of our country either partially or entirely depends on a government check. It's not a wonder why the US Communist Party supported him in both his elections, and praised him for his attempted gun grab.

And if you truly are an "old guy" then I don't have to tell you how a candidate 30 or 40 years ago would have been run out of town on a rail being supported by Communists and domestic terrorists. Now we embellish them in spite of the millions of lost lives we sacrificed to fight people such as this.

Fact, as of this last week, in the last six years, the Republican minority has used the filibuster to block or stall legislation or presidential nominees more than 170 times. What stupid, lame excuses and accusations you repeat from the mouth's of idiots.

Oh, I'm definitely an old guy. Let's see, 40 years ago was the time of Richard Nixon. Do you remember him? He was a Republican who instituted wage and price controls, established the EPA and OSHA, and was the first President visit to Communist China. Interestingly, people like you loved him and voted for him as President twice. He was a conservative avatar.

These days, he would be too liberal for the Democratic party, and his policies would be vilified by people like you.

Yes he would. I have no problem calling out people in my party. In fact, there hasn't been a conservative enough President since I've been alive.

Maybe Nixon visited China, but he certainly didn't give them our nuclear secretes or availability to US companies that make guidance systems . Opps, that's right, not give them our secrets--allow them to be stolen.(roll of eyes)

Thank goodness that some representatives are trying to stop the lunacy!

They were put there thanks to gerrymandering of Congressional districts by Republicans, not the will of the people.

"Normally we would expect more seats in Congress to go to the political party that receives more votes, but the last election confounded expectations. Democrats received 1.4 million more votes for the House of Representatives, yet Republicans won control of the House by a 234 to 201 margin."

When a Republican raises taxes it is prudent fiscal management unaffected by lobbyists and business interests, always good for the state and country. When a Democrat raises taxes it is because they are money grubbing commie socialists beholden to special interests. Stick to that and no further critical thinking is required.

Actually it's a little different because Republicans seldom if ever raise taxes.

But why is it that when Republicans cut taxes, it's tax breaks for the rich. But when Democrats give tax breaks, it's an investment in our future?
